Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::Sitting in the central chair on the Bridge with one PADD at hand, her eyes going over it::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Is presently sitting at his console, extremely glad to finally be departing this ridiculous excuse for a Federation starbase::

FCO_Mades says:
::pulls at his uniform, still not really use to the red ones, and waits for the lift to reach the bridge::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Down in main science checking things out.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::arrives on the bridge and comes around to the Captain:: CO :Here is a pulmonary report on the repairs. Seems everything is a okay...but I would like to make a request?

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
OPS: Lieutenant, do we have all personnel aboard? ::She looks towards the CEO and takes the PADD:: CEO: Yes, Ensign?

SO_Knight says:
::Looks over his quarters on last time before he leaves for duty. Ganymede looks over at his master then the full cases that cluttered the bed::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:I would like a chance to test the engines.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Sighs quietly, not particularly wanting to do the Captain's dirty work. But he does it anyway, scanning the ship and checking the registries to make sure all hands are accounted for. When they are, he turns slightly towards the CO:: CO: Yes ma'am. All personnel accounted for.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: We will be testing them once we depart, Ensign. We will not go to far if they seem to be off; however, your scans should inform us if they are up to par.

FCO_Mades says:
::steps out of the lift and heads for the officer with the most pips:: CO: Lieutenant Christian Mades, reporting for duty.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:I also find that they made major upgrades to the Navigation Systems also Captain.

SO_Knight says:
::Looks down at Ganymede:: Ganymede: Stay 'ere, Dingo. I don' think th' Cap'n would like ol' hounds prowlin' th' Bridge with their masters. <Ganymede> ::Whines and barks::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks towards the CEO and nods as the Lieutenant walks up to her:: FCO: Welcome aboard, Lieutenant. ::She extends her hand:: FCO: Captain Prudence Davis-Patterson.

FCO_Mades says:
::takes the Captain's hand and shakes:: CO: A pleasure, Captain.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::goes and sits down at the Engineering station near the Captains Ready room::

SO_Knight says:
::Leaves quarters and enters a nearby turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: If you would please take the helm. We will be departing shortly. ::She looks back towards OPS:: OPS: Contact ES 217 and request departure permission, Lieutenant.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Finding things in order, she signs off and heads for her office to finish the rotation.::

FCO_Mades says:
::nods and moves over to the big helm station in the front, looking it over he smirks:: Self: Well this could be fun.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Entering, she pulls up the roster.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::smiles and sends a Dozen Long Stems to a Certain Officer's Office and Quarters::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Notices the arrival of the FCO. Nothing really pleases him anymore, but he feels less... constrained now that there's an officer assigned to the Hayden whose specific task is to fly this ship. Meanwhile, he now has more orders from the CO to follow:: CO: Aye ma'am. ::Opens a channel to ES217:: COM: ES217: Attention ES217, this is the USS Hayden requesting permission to disengage and depart.

SO_Knight says:
::Doors slide open to reveal the familiar Hayden bridge with a few unfamiliar faces::

FCO_Mades says:
::sitting down he slides the chair from one corner of the station to the other and then logs into the console.  He took some time on his way here to program his control layout and had it downloaded, so everything looks good to go to him.::

Host Rich says:
<Station_OPS> COM: OPS: Roger Hayden permission granted. Good Luck.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Smiles as she sees that one of her officers has returned.  She had hears it on the ship grape vine, but it was nice to see it for fact.::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She reads over the CEO's report as she waits for clearance from the station::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::turns around and nearly yells out at Othello but just nods::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Sends Othello a message to see her at his first opportunity.::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Nods--even though the receiving party can't see it--and turns slightly once more to the CO:: CO: Permission to depart granted, Captain.

SO_Knight says:
::Notices his friend Jay and Returns his nod with a smile::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Hearing a chime at her door, gives permission to enter.::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
OPS: Understood, Lieutenant. ::She looks towards the helm:: FCO: Lieutenant, you may began your departure once the umbilicals have been detached.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Raises both eyebrows as an ensign enters with a dozen long stem roses.  Shaking her head, she stands to accept them.::  Ensign Doyle:  Thank you...

Host Rich says:
Action: All docking clamps and unbilicals have been disconnected from the Hayden.

FCO_Mades says:
CO: Understood.  ::checks his boards and sees all the lights are green::  Umbilicals retracted, we are free floating.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: Take us out slowly, Lieutenant. I do not wish to have any scratches at this time.

SO_Knight says:
::Makes his way over to the science station and sits down. He cracks his knuckles::

FCO_Mades says:
::nixes his plan to head out at 1/2 impulse and instead just uses thrusters to start moving away:: CO: Sure, nice and slow.  That will be a nice change.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::As there is now little for him to do, he runs once more through the crew manifest, checking over the new faces to make sure he knows them backwards and forwards::

SO_Knight says:
::Looks down and notices a message on the console addressed to him::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Watches the ensign leave before lifting the roses for a deep breath of their scent.::

SO_Knight says:
Self: 'Ello, 'ello?

Host Rich says:
Action: The Hayden clears the station with no problems.

FCO_Mades says:
CO: We are clear of dock.  Increase speed to 1/4 impulse until we are at warp distance?

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She nods:: FCO: Once we are at warp distance set a course, Warp 6 for the Denelly System.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Lying the roses on her desk, goes out into the main lab to find a large beaker.::

SO_Knight says:
::Makes a note of the CSO's message and stands up to go over and meet his new Captain::

FCO_Mades says:
CO: Aye  ::starts plotting a course, wondering if he can find an excuse to route them towards any cool stuff::

Host Rich says:
Action; The impulse engines on go up to 1/8th impulse power.

FCO_Mades says:
::looks down at the readings and taps his console:: Aloud: Hmm, guess the ship wants to take things slow.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Finding something that will fit, if not quite what would be considered elegant, heads back to her office.  Fills it with water, and then places the roses in the container.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::whispers::Hayden:Come on old girl...don't do this to me know

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks back towards the PADD in her hand, it is the usual boring report. She places it in her lap and looks towards the viewscreen as they move::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Reads the new profile of the FCO with nary a twitch of the eye, nor a tic of the mouth::

Host Rich says:
Action: 2 seconds later the ship goes to 1/4 impulse.

FCO_Mades says:
::verifies that he set the speed to 1/4 impulse and frowns then frowns more as the speed jumps::  Aloud: I think we need the air intakes cleaned out... little sluggish there.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Places the roses on the edge of her desk, then takes her seat.::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO: Captain...seems there is a delay in command.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Quickly finishes her report on the science department and then sends a copy to the captain and first officer.::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: How so, Ensign? ::She continues to watch the viewscreen::

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:You wanted 1/4 but when the Impulse Engines engaged they went to 1/8 first then jumped to 1/4

FCO_Mades says:
::shrugs and goes back to checking his possible course selections.:: Self: Hmm, there's a cool binary pulsar.  I think that's the best I'm going to get.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Makes a few changes in the lab scheduling, assigning Othello to Alpha shift with her and putting him in charge of Beta shift.::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: I believe that was standard, Ensign. We shall see. ::She notices a new face on the Bridge and looks towards him:: SO: Lieutenant...

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:I just have to make a minor correction....::taps a few commands:: There....problem fixed.

SO_Knight says:
::Looks over at the CO and stops noticing the change in situation. He turns around and heads to the TL instead::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Decides that this Lieutenant Mades is clearly a little punk with a name that has a dubious pronunciation. He will need to see how true this proves--though probably quite true, he figures. He's good at gauging young punkery.::

SO_Knight says:
::Stops as he hears the voice call him:: CO: Cap'n.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
SO: I take it you are new to the Hayden? ::She looks him over, not really sure who he is::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Finishing up, sends the schedule up to OPS.::

FCO_Mades says:
CO: Course laid in and we are ready for warp, Captain.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Glances over at the SO who eats a lot, who has apparently made his way to the bridge. Ah, the memories of that SO. Always eating. Never stopping. Just eating. Chew, chew, chew, chew.::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: Bring us to Warp 6, Lieutenant.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
CO:Reccomend it slowly Captain...

SO_Knight says:
::Heads back over the CO with his usual Outback stride. Tosses a few braids out of his eye:: CO: Not new to Hayden, just t' you, Ma'am. Othello Knight. ::Extends his hand::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: With that completed, leans back in her chair and reaches for the card that was attached to the roses.::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She nods:: FCO: Do it gradually, Lieutenant.

FCO_Mades says:
::rolls his eyes at the CEO's "slowly" comment... not much fun in that.:: CO: Aye, Captain.  Engaging at warp one.  ::hits the magic button::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks him over before taking his hand:: SO: I see, Captain Patterson. Welcome back.

Host Rich says:
Action: The Hayden goes to warp 1 with no problems.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Shakes his head to try to remove the unpleasant thoughts of endless bridge food. Once this is done and the thought reasonably removed, he looks down to his console to see that he has received a schedule from the CSO. Wonderful. Thank the CSO for -existing-!::

SO_Knight says:
CO: Thanks, Cap'n. ::Tries not to check out the Captain too conspicuously::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
SO: Have you reported to Lieutenant So'tosh?

FCO_Mades says:
::watches the velocity increase and waits for a few moments after the ship reaches warp 1 then encreases speed::  All: Heading to warp 2.

SO_Knight says:
CO: I was gonna do that when I figured you were too busy for me. Shall I do so now?

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
SO: Yes, you should report to her seeing that she is your Department Head. ::She listens to the FCO and inclines her head a bit as if responding::

FCO_Mades says:
::watches the little graph continue to go up as he keeps increasing speed::  Aloud: Now reaching warp 3

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Sighs and acknowledges the personnel schedule for the science lab, filing them away and now thinking about the CSO. Oh what a... what a horrible person!::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Leans back with a smile.  She is never quite sure how to respond to Jays ephusive responses to spending time with her.::

SO_Knight says:
CO: No worries.

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
::watches the warp core out put and warpfield:: FCO/CO: So far so good.

FCO_Mades says:
Aloud: And behind the curtain... warp 4!

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She continues to listen to the reports, she nods every time she does hear them come in::

SO_Knight says:
::Heads to the TL, on the way he pauses behind the CONN and smiles then continues::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Muses on the extreme evil of the CSO. Really, when he thought about it, it was probably her that was responsible for his arm being broken! That evil Vulcan!::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Considers a moment before sending Jay a thank you message for the roses as well as acknowledging she had enjoyed her breakfast in the holosuite.::

SO_Knight says:
TL: Deck 7.

FCO_Mades says:
Aloud: We have warp 5

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: Lieutenant, what will our ETA be once we reach Warp 6?

CEO_Ens_Davidson says:
FCO/CO: Warp field still stable.

SO_Knight says:
::Exits the sliding TL doors and heads for the CSO's office::

SO_Knight says:
::Taps the door chime::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Things completed, pulls up the files on the Denelly system.::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks up.::  Enter...

FCO_Mades says:
CO: We have just hit warp 6 and have leveled off... ETA is just over 4 days.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She nods. Four long days:: FCO: Thank you, Lieutenant.

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Imagines all sorts of things he could do to the CSO that would make him happy--boiling, mashing, putting in a stew::

FCO_Mades says:
CO: Anytime Captain.   I assume you didn't want the pit stop to pick up some Yamaran take out?

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: Maybe another time, Lieutenant. ::She shows a small smile as she watches the viewscreen::

Host Rich says:
Action: The helm shows a .3%drift to starboard.

SO_Knight says:
::Enters the room and scans it over a bit. Then his eyes fall on the CSO. A thought passes in his mind: C'Til:: CSO: You wanted t' see me?

FCO_Mades says:
Self: Hey now... ::makes a minor course correction::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Stands with a nod and a smile in her eyes.::  SO:  It is good to see you again Othello.  Please, take a seat.  I shall not take up too much of your time.

SO_Knight says:
CSO: No worries. I got all th' time in th' world.

Host Rich says:
Action; once the course correction is made the drift starts again.

FCO_Mades says:
::corrects again:: CO: Um, when was the last time we had the alignment checked on the Hayden here?

FCO_Mades says:
::runs a diagnostic::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: I would assume several hours ago while we were being worked on. Why?

FCO_Mades says:
CO: I've had to make a few course corrections already, that just shouldn't be.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Sits back down.::  SO: Work first.  I have assigned you back onto alpha shift, and also Beta shift placing you in charge of it.  I have Gamma shift these days... since all the changes with command.  Captain Patterson has not changed that.

FCO_Mades says:
::reads a return from the diagnostic:: CO: Hmm, diagnostics aren't showing anything.  Odd.

Host Rich says:
Action: The starboard drift starts again.

FCO_Mades says:
::corrects the course again:: CO: I wonder if there is a heavy gravity anomaly around that isn't on the charts

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Practically salivates at the idea of a CSO that is no longer tormenting with her horrible torments! The endless torments that wrack his mind every day and for all eternity! A curse on her!::

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: Nothing? ::She pauses for a moment, that is odd:: FCO: How about anything outside around us that may be causing the drifts?

FCO_Mades says:
::checks the navigational sensors::

SO_Knight says:
CSO: Alpha an' Beta shifts with charge ova Beta. Sinch job. an'thin' else?

FCO_Mades says:
CO: It's pretty boring out there, I don't see a thing.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
SO:  Have you read the mission orders?

Host Rich says:
Action: The drift continues.

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
FCO: You may need to continue making adjustments for now, Lieutenant. Have a few officers assist you in looking for all possibilities.

FCO_Mades says:
CO: Aye.  ::makes yet another correction::

SO_Knight says:
CSO: I'm still tryin' t' find 'Mede's bone. I haven't. Sorry. What's the trouble?

FCO_Mades says:
::sends a comm down to Engineering for some help is chasing down the possible equipment issues::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
SO:  We are heading for the Denelly system which is 7.2 light years from the station.  It appears to be giving off energy readings from the third planet in the system.  We have been asked to check it out.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns her screen toward him with what little they know.::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::Without knowing it, he leans forward and starts gnawing on the top of his console in all of the immense rage he is feeling::

FCO_Mades says:
*CSO/SO*: Good Morning, this is your pilot speaking.  We are having some issues with a drifting ship and need a hand making sure there isn't something out there pulling on us.  Perhaps you could give a hand?

Host CO_Capt_Davis-Patterson says:
::She crosses her legs as she listens to the FCO attempting to get some help. "Assertive, good." She thinks as she watches::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
SO:  As you can see, the system is primitive.  The third planet has an oxygen atmosphere, but is basically barren rock.  Hence the curiosity on the signal.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
*FCO*:  Acknowledged.  We are on our way up.

FCO_Mades says:
*CSO*: Appreciated.

SO_Knight says:
CSO: Sounds like we got a new mystery on our hands, mate.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
SO:  Looks like the more personal side will have to wait for another time.  Shall we?  ::Stands.::

OPS_Lt_Verradi says:
::His eyes are fixed straight ahead at the bulkhead in front of him, unseeing. His mind is filled with all sorts of fun things for him to do to Vulcans. And he's still chewing his console.::

SO_Knight says:
::Follows the CSO out of her office::

CSO_So`tsoh says:
:: Exits the area, heading for the nearest turbolift.  Entering, steps aside for Othello.::
